"Tanks for Staying" at the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel & Conference Center



WASHINGTON (Business Wire EON) June 18, 2008 -- "As gas prices skyrocket across the nation, travelers everywhere are left feeling the pinch for summer vacations," states Greg Miller, President of PMHS. "'Tanks for Staying' was inspired by the knowledge that the added costs for a summer vacation are estimated to have increased $50 for the average family using their car to arrive to their destination. With such high costs at the pump along with rising food prices, we believe our guests deserve immediate help to salvage the family summer vacation."
"Tanks for Staying" offers overnight accommodations for up to two adults (each additional is $10) and children under the age of 18, a $50 gas card, a complimentary breakfast buffet and 1000 bonus points for Hilton HHonors guests (bonus points at Hilton properties only). Packages require a 2-night minimum stay and are based on availability. Guests must book stay three days prior to arrival.


How It Works


When travelers arrive at any of these award winning destinations and register, they receive a gas card that has a $50 credit balance awaiting their use. For travelers arriving from a distance of more than 100 miles and up to 500, the stay can be as short as two days to qualify. Realizing some people will be traveling longer distances, the credit for travelers arriving from a distance of more than 500 miles and who stays for five or more nights is doubled to $100 via the same credit card offer.


Participating hotels include:
Hilton Properties Embassy Suites Hotel Dulles North, 703-723-5300, Ashburn, VA Homewood Suites Hotel Dulles North, 703-723-7500, Dulles, VA Hilton Baltimore BWI Airport Hotel, 410-694-0808, Linthicum, MD Embassy Suites Hotel Newark/Wilmington South, 302-368-8000, Newark, DE Homewood Suites Newark/Wilmington South, 302-453-9700, Newark, DE Sheraton Sheraton Hotel Meadowlands, 201-896-0500, East Rutherford, NJ Marriott Fairfield Inn Capital Beltway/I-95 North, 301-572-7100, Beltsville, MD Choice Properties Comfort Suites Manassas, 703-686-1100, Manassas, VA Comfort Inn Gunston Corner, 703-643-3100, Lorton, VA "This promotion was designed to give families some economic relief and peace of mind while spending time together this summer," adds Miller. "But the benefits of this summer program are not limited to just families – we encourage business travelers and anyone arriving by way of the highway to take advantage."

"Breaking News" Release Date: Jun 16 2008

GORDON BILL TO AUTHORIZE AQUARIUM AT XANADU APPROVED IN COMMITTEE
TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senator Bob Gordon which would remove regulatory stumbling blocks to allow for the construction of an aquarium in the Xanadu complex at the Meadowlands was unanimously approved by the Senate Economic Growth Committee today.

“Allowing the developers of Xanadu to include an aquarium in their planning introduces an educational element to the facility,” said Senator Gordon, D-Bergen. “Aquariums are a fantastic opportunity for both children and adults to come face to face with some of the treasures of our planet’s oceans. A world-class aquarium at the heart of Xanadu would enhance the development’s regional profile and draw in visitors from around the New York City metropolitan area.”

The bill, S-1972, would remove a provision under current law prohibiting the construction of an aquarium at the Meadowlands. Under the bill, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) would be granted authority to enter into any private contracts or legal agreements to facilitate the construction of an aquarium on the Meadowlands site. The NJSEA has already received a proposal for a privately-financed aquarium at the Xanadu retail and entertainment complex, to be built without any public funding by Cumming Corp., the same developer working on the Xanadu project.

Senator Gordon noted that the original exception for an aquarium at the Meadowlands was intended to give the Adventure Aquarium in Camden a level of regional exclusivity, to ensure that the facility would attract visitors to the Camden waterfront. However, Senator Gordon argued that the distance between Camden and the Meadowlands is sufficient to support two facilities, and that the carve-out is contrary to the tenets of healthy competition.

“The Adventure Aquarium is one of the great success stories in New Jersey’s efforts to bring Camden back from the brink of fiscal collapse,” said Senator Gordon. “But I think that the current law prohibiting an aquarium in the Meadowlands is unnecessary, as the Meadowlands aquarium would draw in an entirely different visitor-base. New Jersey is big enough to support two top-notch aquariums, and we want to give the residents of North Jersey a taste of undersea adventure in their own backyard.”

The bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.

Opening night: All seats $15! (excludes VIP & Floor Seating)
In this all new show, Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but the floral friend has outgrown his flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird's garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow, but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature's course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street's fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make him grow. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink! While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird's garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem – from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor.

Fight Rising Gas Prices in New Jersey with the Sheraton Meadowlands "Tanks For Staying Package"

Fight Rising Gas Prices in New Jersey with the Sheraton Meadowlands "Tanks For Staying Package". Visit www.sheratonmeadowlands.com for package details.

Trenton, NJ - New Jersey Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson issued the following statement today:

“Rising gas prices are stressing the finances of New Jersey families and threatening our summer tourism industry. John McCain’s plan to suspend the gas tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day will result in an immediate eighteen cent reduction in prices and give our families some much needed help. Senator McCain’s proposal will help lower the cost of gas and diesel fuel. That means lower costs for drivers and also lower costs for food and other consumer goods that depend on trucks to get those products to stores.
Tourism is the second biggest industry in New Jersey and summer tourism depends on people getting in their car and driving to our beaches, parks and attractions. If it costs too much to get there, people won’t go and that will have a horrific ripple effect on a state economy that has been devastated by massive Democrat tax hikes. A summer gas tax holiday isn’t just good for families, it’s critical to the economy of New Jersey.
The Democrats who control Congress – Senator Lautenberg, Congressman Andrews among them – need to step up and make it clear that New Jersey’s economy is more important than presidential campaign politics. Senator Clinton has signaled a willingness to support John McCain’s proposal, while Senator Obama has flatly rejected it. Oddly, Senator Obama, citing the ‘huge hike” in gas prices in 2000, supported a gas tax holiday as an Illinois legislator. Now he’s playing politics instead of doing what’s right.
Our Democratic Senators and Congressmen need to make it clear whether they support John McCain’s call for much needed gas tax relief. All of them talk about tax relief for the middle class. The gas tax takes a big bite out of the paycheck of a middle class New Jersey family. John McCain’s gas tax holiday will provide real relief, real quick.”
